RIP Teena Marie

Man was I saddened to hear that Teena Marie had passed away suddenly at the age of 54. Teena was discovered and mentored by Rick James, another great R&B singer, who also passed away a few years back. Teena could really belt out the songs and had a great voice. She was referred to as the Ivory queen of soul. She had a string of hits in the early to mid 80's but for me her greatest song was her duet with Rick James titled Fire and Desire. There is no video to that song and you can believe that if there was it would be a Friday Nite Video! I'll try to post some of her videos to some of her popular songs but in the mean time if you want to check out Fire and Desire its in my newly added pop out playlist to the right. And yes, it is the number 1 song on that list. Rest easy Teena, we will miss you!
